gmac Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I went there about 2 months ago and had a good night out until I stepped into a hole in the dark walking home and broke my shoulder. (Wasn't even slightly drunk!) Won't be back any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultName Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I've been there several times this year, the Boots pharmacy is the easiest one I know to get to, I can just step off my bike and in the door. At night though, once this year; a mate was organising a bit of a bar crawl. That'll do me for the year. Even 10 years ago, I loved the place, now though, it's all overpriced beer, overpriced girls who think they are the bees knees - look luv, you're selling pussy for a living, not auditioning for a job in Hollywood, you're not doing ME a favour, I'm doing YOU a favour.

4MyEgo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Was holidaying in Pattaya last year, stayed at Nong Klua or something like that, the other end of walking street and couldn't be bothered going that way. So the last time would have been with mates was years ago, suffice to say was at Phuket just last week from a return trip overseas, stayed for 7 nights and Bangla Road or (Walking Street) as they now also refer to it, has changed a lot, did a short stint with the wife one night and after 13 years of visiting that place, it is definitely the visit. More touts than tourists on Bangla Road, and more smoking taxi drivers than tourists on every corner. Finding a pretty girl there was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Did notice that they repaved some footpaths were some new developments recently went up opposite Novotel Vintage Park, and even had holes in sections that you could snap an ankle bone in quiet easily, I suppose just to match it up with the rest of the footpaths of Patong. The beach was putrite with all the storm water and gutter run offs, however have never swam there since 2006 after I got sick from the swim. Pattaya and Phuket are both off of my list of holiday destinations, and on are Hua Hin and Chiang Mai, the latter when there is no smoke of course.

Jen65 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 used to enjoy a bit of fun there but now DON'T GO anymore !! Trying to dodge the Chinese tour groups , not particularly enamoured toward Indian food ,clubs or music , avoiding the uneven pavements and holes , getting ripped off with price of a drink and possibility of getting robbed - it's gone DOWNHILL !!!

I don't want to hijack the thread, but no point starting a thread for just a quick question. What does the "LK" stand for in LK Metro? Is it Lengkee? Yes. Wherever you see the LK logo in Patts there is a strong connection with, or usually ownership by the very wealthy Thai-Chinese Lenkee family, As for WS, even as a regular visitor to Patts, the only time I bother with it is if friends want to go, usually newbies who ask me to be their "tour guide" for an evening. One visit there usually convinces me that it's become very overpriced and somewhat unfriendly. Years ago it was great fun....IMO. Also IMO there are far better options in Patts for whatever I want, most of which isn't allowed to be discussed on TV ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxper Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 About 6 months ago. Always on the agenda for a big boys night out. Don’t spend all evening there but it’s ok to pass through for a few beers and listen to some of the live music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you and I are out of the loop on the latest Patts slang. When I realised, I lost interest in the post. 20 or more years is not the latest slang. You no doubt are too posh to know about one of the major tourist attractions, entertainment zones, bar zone, club zone, shopping zone, restaurant zone in Pattaya. And if you cant cognitively link WS in Pattaya to W alking S treet in Pattaya you are not just lacking deductive reasoning power but just simply out of touch and the sad thing is you probably think you are superior to other people due to your ignorance!

My my, you have got in a tiss, over what I'm not so surer, unless you are feeling rather close minded. Not everyone of intelligence knows about Pattaya, Walking Street or any other Street in that City. In fact the vast majority of the World's peoples know nothing about Pattaya, or any street in it, indeed many on this forum know little to nothing of Pattaya, so please don't be so dismissive and patronising.

But seriously, I just think there are better options these days - if I want to visit a GoGo I prefer LK Metro. (I was going to WS long before LK even existed!) I find the atmosphere more enjoyable....that's very subjective of course. As ever....YMMV ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Last March I think. I only go when some newbie friends come to visit for the first time. Show them the tourist traps. That's usually 1-2 times per year. Otherwise I wouldn't bother at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I walked through W.S., there was a tour leader organising her Chinese party for a group photo. They were gathered outside the bar that has an aviation theme -mixing with the girls that wear very skimpy versions of cabin staff uniforms. There were quite a lot of children in the party. I am sure their Grandads will enjoy viewing their holiday snaps when they get home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
